Noble Square Eviction Risk: Elevated , Chicago

At $1,889 a month, rents run 31% over what the rest of Chicago commands. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.4% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, regional political climate reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 143 evictions over 15 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 2.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Chicago. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #17,650 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.

It tracks the Cook County average of 6.1 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
